Absolutely! This conference was life changing. I have people in my life whom believe the scientific community can disprove God. I have so many resources available now and I feel more equipped to approach these conversations when the opportunity arises. Thank you!!

Thank you so much to whom it may concern at AIIA Institute,
I was overwhelmed with the collection of professional minds, programs, authors, speakers, pastors, teachers, evangelists, organizations and other Christian businesses that gathered for this convention. I have been studying apologetics on a self taught basis for over 13 years. I have never come close to an experience like this ever in my life. It was spiritually filling and inspiring. I keep praying for other Christians to come to worship God not just with song, prayer, faith, fellowship and church services, but with their minds in study. My prayers were actually answered! Apologetics is what lead me to my biggest revival of my entire Christian walk. About two years ago, after reading “I don’t have enough faith to be an Atheist” for perhaps the 4th time, I had an awakening and an encounter with Jesus and the Holy Spirit that I will never forget. I was called at that point to be an evangelist. I go door to door, street to street and park to park engaging people personally in discussion with apologetics and the gospel. It doesn’t matter where they are in their beliefs, I have the courage and ability to engage them to think about Jesus and his sacrifice critically. I was able to bring a young man that I actually met out door knocking, or what we call “soul-winning” to this conference. He now attends my church and has shown a great interest in apologetics. What a blessing and an answer to prayer to see this come full circle with him being submerged in a day of apologetics! Thank you so much!
And a special thank you to Darrell for getting me tickets last minute.
I had waited to long to purchase tickets and I was only able to attend with his help after he connected me
with a church that had extra tickets. .
Thanks to all who made this day possible,

A HUGE thank you to all of the AIIA individuals who put this absolutely wonderful conference together and a louder THANK YOU to the Lord for answering the prayers of all those involved. When I first heard about the conference, I knew I had to attend. As an individual who is working with college students, I need more and more resources to help win their souls for the Lord. It is difficult to be able to speak at an educational institution knowing that there are barriers and hurdles in place that keep us from speaking. The speakers provided many insights that will help me in my situation. I am now more equipped, encouraged, and educated.
Besides all five of the outstanding speakers, the breakout sessions provided too many options for the time, but even with that I found opportunities to further my knowledge of the Bible through the session I attended.
Praise God that we had this wonderful opportunity in Maine and pray that He will open doors for many more.

Anyone from New England knows that this is a dry and arid area, desperate for the gospel. Just knowing that people like Zacharias and Strobel deemed us worthy enough for their busy schedules has encouraged me tremendously to believe that God isn’t finished with us yet. Each speaker brought something to the table that I was hearing in a different way or with more of a tangible understanding. They have helped me to formulate my own variation of how I get THE LOST to bring the topic back to Jesus through gentle questions in a non-confrontational way.

You’re punctuating with a question mark, as in “…results from the Why Jesus? 2016 Conference?” Just FYI.
Regrettably I could not attend, but hearing the enthusiastic people, especially the youth – it didn’t matter so much to me what they were talking about, just that they were talking, with great fervor. From this, leadership arises.

Thanks for your note, James. The name of the conference was WHY JESUS? 2016 — thus the punctuation that you see.
